BUTTON-MOLD HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JESSE A. TURNER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Elliott, in the county of Montgomery and State of Iowa, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Button-Mold I-l olders;and I do hereby declare the follow ing to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to button mold holders.

The object of the invention resides in the provision of a button moldholder which will support a plurality of button molds in such mannerthat the molds of the same size will all be supported together so thatthe possibility of the various sizes of molds becoming mixed isobviated.

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a buttonmold holder from which the button molds can be conveniently removed asthey are sold.

WVith the above and other objects in view the invention consists in thedetails of e011- struction and in the arrangement and combination ofparts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointedout in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference denotecorresponding parts in the several views, and in which- Figure 1 is aside elevation of a button mold holder constructed in accordance withthe invention and showing a plurality of button molds supported upon oneof the stringing wires of the holder; Fig. 2, a plan view of the holder;Fig. 3, a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4, a detailperspective view of a fragment of the holder.

Referring to the drawings the improved button mold holder is shown ascomprising a base A formed of sections 10 and 11. The section 11 isprovided on its outer side with a facing of felt or othersuitablematerial indicated at 12. This facing is designed to prevent the elementsupportin the holder from being scratched. Rising from the section 10 ofthe base is a standard 13 upon the upper end of which is mounted acircular plate '14 having a plurality of eyes 15 Specification ofLetters Patent.

Serial No. 793,407.

these elements is constructed of a length of resilient wire one end ofwhich is engaged in the section 10 of the base while the other endthereof is inserted through one of th ys 15. The upper end of eachstringing element is bent laterally as at 17 and as each element is of alengt greater than the distance between the lower end thereof and theplate 14; it will be obvious that when the upper end of the element isinserted through the eye 15 the stringer will be bowed as clearly shownin the drawingOwing to the lateral bend of the stringer at its upper endit will be obvious that the movement of same through the eye will belimited so that the stringers will normally be held bow shape. If it isdesired to remove molds from any stringer it is only necessary to pressdown upon the upper end of the stringer and disengage same from the eye15. Upon then releasing the stringer it will assume substantially astraight shape so that the molds can be readily removed. After the moldshave been removed the upper end of the stringer is reengaged in the eye.It will be apparent that molds of a given size can be placed on eachstringer and in this way the possibility of molds of different sizesbecoming mixed is obviated.

"What is claimed is:-

In a device of the class described. the combination of a base having aplurality of inclined recesses in the side wall thereof, a standardrising from the base, a plate supported upon the top of the stand, aplurality of eye members mounted in the algo of said plate, and aplurality of stringing elements formed of resilient material and havinga length in excess of the distance between said base and said plate andfurther having their lower ends engaged in said recesses respectivelyand their upper ends engaged in said eye members whereby said stringingelements will be held in bow shape.

In testimony whereof, I allix my signature, in the presence of twowitnesses.
